In the Footsteps of Knight Ywein: Family Hike to Rodenegg Castle

The Ywein Trail is a family-friendly themed trail in Rodeneck that introduces you to the story of the knight Ywein. The path is suitable for pushchairs and follows an easy route through the forest to Rodenegg Castle. Along the way, magic stones and information boards tell the story of Ywein’s adventures.

At Rodenegg Castle, you can visit the Ywein frescoes. These Romanesque wall paintings are considered the oldest secular depictions in the German-speaking world and illustrate the knight’s story. Check the castle’s opening hours in advance to make sure you can visit the frescoes.
